Guess how many games we'd win with nothing but doughy, small town Iowa kids on our team? About two per year, if we were lucky.
    so you're a-okay with the McDermott situation too, right? it's a free market and they didn't break any NCAA rules.

      The only problem I had with the McD issue was with Jake and Dannen. They rolled over and didn't insist on the conference transfer rule being enforced. That's on them. The McD's were acting in their own self interest, which there is nothing wrong with.

          Read my post. I said we'd win two games a year with roster of nothing but doughy small town Iowa kids. IMO, that's pretty accurate. You can't win with that, period. In a state like Iowa (or ND), you need players from outside to succeed. If you don't recognize that, then have fun trying it (and losing). Also, if you believe that, then I have some business transactions I'd love to discuss.

              I was just doing alittle all in fun

              No, I agree, especially in football. The talents that get overlooked by FBS teams is huge. Going out and finding under radars guys is critical.

                It's not good for the conference for schools to be taking kids & coaches away from other member schools. It drives the price up & can be detrimental to the kids on both sides of the equation. I stand by my original statement. You are entitled to your own opinion although it is wrong

                  Re: UNI vs NDSU

                  I might have missed it but didn't see any mention of the noise in the hand wringing about what went wrong. It was a MAJOR factor in my opinion. It had died down when we were up by 2 scores but when they got back in the game in the 4th quarter they were back with a vengeance - I think was the deciding factor in the game. (with the exception of the 2 flags on third down stops) My ears are still ringing. I think it was the loudest I have ever heard including Memorial in Lincoln and Arrowhead. The crowd is close and they are on all four sides. Players have trouble hearing in the huddle and lose the advantage of a snap count. And then the announcer screaming "you are the strength of the herd" whipping the crowd up. It wears on you.

                  Before this weekend I respected the bison before for what they accomplished - I now hate them. Congratulations screaming maniac bison fans. I hope to never step foot on the tundra again but I suspect we might be back there in December.

                    Of course the noise was a factor. And I'm totally jealous of NDSU for not only the numbers of their fanbase (which is partly due to the lack of competition in the area from FBS/BCS teams), but the fact that their crowd actually cheers (and not just on third downs). It sickens me how often the UNIdome is dead silent when we are on defense. (while we are on offense, the band is often playing away, but anyway).

                    However, apart from that one time in the first half where not only did UNI burn a t/o, but then they got a delay-of-game right AFTER the t/o, I thought the team did alright with handling the noise.

                    And besides, it isn't really worth "hand-wringing" about, as that isn't something that "went wrong", it's just part of playing on the road that you have to deal with. (I supposed dealing with blind and/or biased officials is also something that you just have to deal with, but that's different)

                      I'm envious of the packed arena, the noise, the crowd's football acumen on when to be loud, the tailgating - which is all packed in two lots behind the stadium forming one big party instead of strung across 40 acres with a half empty gold lot in between.

                      Are you a teacher or professor?- it seems like you are grading my English assignment - you don't like how I structured my comments. Or are you simply half agreeing with me while being argumentative? I guess that's what you get with alumnus from the Iowa state teaching college or whatever they used to call it before you correct me.

                        NDSU has true fans. There are no other options in ND unless you enjoy hunting or cow tipping > football. At UNI, we have too many fans that are influenced by the local media by getting wrapped up into the media hype that is Iowa & ISU. UNI needs undivided attention like NDSU has.

                            We'll get a good crowd. Probably 15K.

                              UNI and NDSU are very evenly matched, it was a fun game talked some friendly smack and overall grat game.

                              refs were bad all around, bad spots, etc....

                              plus they picked it on a Gameday!!

                              I was totally impressed with the players from both teams keeping their cool and no dumb PF penalties for fighting.

                              good luck the rest of the way

                                The funny thing is your user name is Mudrafan who happens to be an ex NDSU coach.
